hi Ink.........it is horrible, isn't it?

Go under System Information for AOL.....the Utilities. Look for the first box that contains numbers about your Browser Cache. Always make sure it is 0 (zero). There should be something that says Clear Browser Cache. Do this every time you are done online.

It will help a little to speed things up, but not a whole lot. Oh, and always make sure AOL compresses your graphics.

It's not just AOL, which I do have - it is dial up itself.
